Abstract: 
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) polarimetry is an active and fruitful field of research in Earth observation. Polarimetry provides sensitivity to the soil moisture, as well as to the structural and geometric properties of the targets under observation, allowing a more accurate identification and classification than with non-polarimetric data. Moreover, the increasing number of spaceborne SAR systems equipped with polarimetric capabilities, as well as future planned missions, enables the advance in this research field at all levels, from theory and physical modeling to final applications.
